The only down side to Vintage Pattern is the need to build most of the kits. Granted there are some ARF's but few enough that if a person wants something different they will need to build from plans or a box of wood.

Hmm... Call me crazy, but isn't kit and plan building as well as aircraft research part of the fun? To me it's just as much a part of the hobby as flying, and I'm one of those young twenty-something whippersnappers who is supposed to hate it and not have any patience.

Sometimes I keep finding things to make better on a model because I don't want the building fun to stop! I've been working on a scale aircraft for about five months just finding pictures of how the real thing was built to make authentic plans from.
